saw-snr..

To all whom it concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. WAGNER, a citizen of thefUnited States, residing at David City, in the county of Butler and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Saw-Set, of which the following is a specication.

- This invention relates to saw-sets and has for its object to provide a comparativelysimple and inexpensive verse opening for the reception of the plunger whereby the latter maybeadjusted vertically to vary the slant or set oi the saw-teeth.

A further object is to provide means for adjusting the anvil withrespect to theplunger, and means for flockingthe anvil in adjusted position.

A. still further object of the invention is to generally improve this class of devices so as to increase their utility, durability and eiiiciency.

' Further objects and advantages will appear in tuhe following description, it being understood that various changes in form, proportions and minor details of constructionmay` be resorted to within ythe scope of the appended claims.'

In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a saw-set constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a top plan kview of the same. Fig. 3`is a transverse sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4

-is a iront elevation. Fig. 5. is a detail perspective view oi the plunger. Fig. 6 is a similar view of the plunger carrying block or slide.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in allof the figures ofthe drawings.

The improved device consists of relatively stationary and movable members 5 and 6 pivotally united at 7 j and provided with terminal operating handles 8, there beinga spring'Q interposed between the handles 8 for normally holding the free ends of said handles in spaced relation.

The stationary member 5 is provided with an enlarged head 10 havingla vertically disposed'recess 11 Specification of latten Patent.

`vertical opening l5 in which is mounted a slide or block 16, the latter being provided with a transverse recess 17 for the reception of a sliding plunger 18.

The plunger 18 is provided with a reduced extension 19 having oppositely disposed slots 20 formed therein for the reception of the spaced armsZl of the movable member 6 so that when the handles 8 are pressed together against the tension of the spring 9, the plunger 18 lwill be '-.ciprocated within the slide 16. Thev plunger 18 is provided with a longitudinal bore 22, the walls of which are threaded for the reception of a longitudinally adjustable hammer or pin 23 adapted to hear against the saw-teeth and force said teeth against the upper edge of the anvil 12 and thereby slant or set said teeth.

The block or slide 16 is slidably mounted in the opening I5 so that the hammer 23 may be adjusted With respect te th'e anvil l2 and thus vary the inclination or set ofthe saw-teeth. The slide 16 is locked in adjusted position by means of suitable clamping screws 24 the enlarged heads of which extend through slots 25 formed in the side walls of the head l0 and bear against said walls when the clamping screws are tightened so as to prevent accidental movement of the slide.'

'The side walls of the head 10 are formed with alined recesses 26 so that the toothed edge of the saw may be positioned against the adjacent face of the anvil 12 when using the tool. Attention is here called to the fact that the recesses 1l and l5 open through the top ol the head 10 so that the hammer or pin 23 may be adjusted longitudinally of the plunger without the necessity of removing said plunger or pin from the head.

In using the device the saw is positioned in the rccesses 26 with one side thdncof bc'aring against the anvil 12 and with the teeth disposed at the upper edge of said anvil. The handles 8 arethon pressed together which causes the hammer 23 to bear against the adjacent saw tooth and bend the same over thc upper edge of the anened thereby locking the plunger in adjusted position.

' The anvil 12 may also be adj usted with respect to the plunger by manipulating the clamping screw 13 in the manner before described. I,

From the foregoing description it will be seen that there is provided an extremely simple, inexpensive and eflicient device admirably adapted for the attainment of the ends in view. j'

e @een Having thus deecrbed the invention what is claimed is: 1. A snw-set ineluding4 pivctally united members, :I slide adjustable vertially on one 'f the members, n plun` ger rnrried by the slide and operatively connected with the adjacent member, an anvil `placed from the plunger, a hummer carried by said plunger, and menns for iosking the slide in adjuste position.

2. A sawAset lncinding pivotaiiy uniteii members one of which is provided with an opening; a bloei; si'idabiy mounted in said opening, ami provided with ulrecesn, a

plunger movable ,within the reeas and operntiveg con- Hnected with the adjacent member, an anvil spaced from the niunger, a hammer carried by the plunger and co-act ing with the fulvli, and clamping members extendingv ,through tire walls of .the opening and engaging tire block,

there being elongated slots formed in said walls for th 'refv caption of the clamping members.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I

have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of; two

witnesses. y 4,
